"Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father's throne. Make all my wants and wishes known; in seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!" Good morning Lord! Thank You for the privilege to be able to approach Your throne of grace boldly, expecting help in our time of need. You are the Great I Am and we thank You for being everything we need You to be. Father, today is Valentine's Day, and we thank You for showing us You are our Valentine over 2,000 years ago. Greater love has no man than this, that a Man lay down His life for a friend. You did it Lord and we love You! Lord, because You're our Valentine we're smiling today, no flowers, candy, diamonds, steak or lobster could ever compare to Your love to us on a daily basis. Your love is unconditional, You love us when we're right, when we're wrong, when we're obedient, when we're disobedient, and even when we don't love ourselves, thank You! We pray that no one is sad today because they don't have a valentine--For You are our sweet Valentine, always and forever. God, we have tasted and experienced You are good, thank You Lord for being our Valentine today and always. It's a great day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Please remember Dr. Mae Anderson and family, especially Yvette who was involved in a serious auto accident, strengthen, heal and deliver, we ask in Jesus Name. And, we give You all praise, all the glory in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank You for waking us to see the breaking of a brand new day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to a great week. Father, we're praying for the family of Whitney Houston, give strength to her mother and daughter. Lord, You know every tear they shed, every moment they grieve, we pray they will be open to Your peace and allow You to comfort them. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us learn to look for the good in one another. We have all sinned and fallen short of Your glory, we may never have done a number of things, but we are guilty of something. Help us not to look down on others for what they've done, but rather remember Jesus is our measuring stick, and You told us to have love one to another. Let us make a special effort today to look for good in each person we meet, a special effort to offer a smile everywhere we go, a special effort to speak to someone we haven't spoken to in a while, a special effort to forgive, a special effort to be respectful, a special effort to let go and live. Let us make a special effort to love ourselves, for we are truly Designer's Originals. We praise You Lord for this beautiful day and we shall make a special effort to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Friday Morning Inspiration by Kimberlyn J.

"TGI . . ."

The song, "Be Grateful" is ringing in my ears, in particular the words, "Be grateful, because there's someone else who's worse off then you. Be grateful, because there's someone else who would love to be in your shoes." Week after week we complain about going to work, we complain about going to school, we complain about having to run errands, we complain about not having anything to do, but when Friday comes it's, "Thank God It's Friday!" or "TGIF!"

We mess up our (own) days by having the wrong attitude. If all we have to look forward to in a week is Friday, we're in sad shape. If all we have to be grateful for is sleeping in on Saturday, O, what a shame. Everyday is a blessing from God and everyday we should be excited about God giving us another chance to live, another chance to draw closer to Him, another chance to be who He created us to be, another chance to be a blessing to someone else. I know, I know, save the preaching for Sunday, right? Just for a moment, think about it, there are so many who would love to get up and go to work. So many who would love to go to school, run errands, clean the house---would trade places with us in a heartbeat! Right?

Today is a good day, not because it's Friday, but because it's another day of life! Our life may not be like his or hers, but we're living, be glad about it! It's another days journey, be glad about it!! God has given us health and strength, be glad about it! He's given us food to eat, be glad about it! He's provided transportation, be glad about it! He's given us family and friends, be glad about it! He continues to provide for us, be glad about it! Then, when you wake up tomorrow and the next day, do it all over again, be glad about it! TGIS! TGIS! TGIM! TGIT! TGIW! TGIT! TGIF!
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see today. Thank You for smiling on us with Your unconditional love. We're going forth today excited about Your love to us! We're not complaining about anything and we're praising You for everything. Thank You Lord for today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We worship You O Mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we desire to do. We give You praise because You are our righteousness. We'll pay the price, such a small sacrifice to worship You. Father, our desire is that the words of our mouth be acceptable in Thy sight, and that You will continue to work on our hearts until we mean every word we say. Lord, it's easy to say we love You, it's easy to say we worship You, it's easy to say Your praise shall continually be in our mouth, but God we want to mean it from our hearts in the good times as well as the bad times. We want to trust You when our eyes can see no way out. We want to love You when we don't feel loved. We desire a closer relationship with You, help us Lord. Help us to lean and depend on You. Help us to talk to You about everything, all the time. Help us to pay attention to Your voice and be quick to do just as You say. You've given us another chance today to be better and do better, so right now by faith we say, we will be better and we will do better. We will not be distracted by the tricks and schemes of the enemy. We will stay on course, we will speak positive words and dismiss negative thoughts. We will find some time today to read a verse of Scripture, we will find some time to say, "thank You Lord", we will find some time to pray for someone else. We declare by faith today is a better day than yesterday and we praise You for making all things new. It's a new day and we are determined to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Thank You Jesus for a life filled with Your love, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! You're our Rock! You're our Fortress! You're our Deliverer, in You Lord do we trust! We love You Lord! We bless You Lord! We thank You Lord for waking us this morning with an attitude of praise. So often we take days for granted, but not today, today we are making a special effort to say, thank You! We thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You because we know things may not be as they should be or what we would like them to be, but they could be so much worse. It's a good day to give thanks unto the Most High God and sing praises to Your Name! Thank You Lord! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! We're not asking for anything this morning, we're just thanking You for all You've done for us! We bless Your Name God and we look forward to thanking You throughout this day for Your goodness, kindness, mercy, grace, faithfulness, love, peace, joy, provision and protection. You are a mighty God and we thank You for being mighty in our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

O Lord, we praise You! We worship and adore You! We lift up Your Holy and Righteous Name, for truly, most certainly, without a doubt You are the only true and living God and You alone are worthy of our worship and all of the praise. There is none like You and we thank You for loving us unconditionally always. We thank You for the ability to breathe in and out, and the mere fact that we have breath lets us know, it's time to praise You! For, without You we couldn't breathe. Without You we couldn't communicate. Without You we couldn't give or receive love. Without You we wouldn't be able to be who You created us to be. Lord, we thank You that we don't have to go through life without You, but just as You promised, You're always there, no matter what. We begin this day with the complete understanding that You're with us, and because You're with us there is nothing about this day that we can't handle, because with You all things are possible. God, we thank You that everything we put our hands to do today shall prosper. Every word we speak shall encourage, edify or be a blessing to someone else. The path that we walk shall be ordered by You and we shall come through victorious. We will not cuss anyone out, put anyone down, talk bad about anyone, stir up the mess from the past, roll our eyes or smack our lips, but we will show love one to another, be patient with one another, listen to one another, help where we can help and back off where we need to back off. It's a good day today, and we're rejoicing and being glad because our attitude determines our altitude, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for another day of life. We thank You Lord because Your mercy endures forever! We thank You Lord because You're good all the time and all the time You are good! We thank You Lord for resting on our hearts like the dew in the morning. Lord, we thank You for Your Word and for the songs You have inspired men and women to write/sing to remind us of Your faithfulness. We thank You Lord for the song You have placed in our heart to make it through tough times. We thank You for the song that wakes up the joy in our hearts early in the morning. We thank You for the melody that carries our smile throughout the day. You have given us everything we need to survive, forgive us for making excuses to do things our way. This morning we're praying for each eye that reads this prayer, help us to surrender all to You and trust You to lead, guide and direct our path. Yes, sometimes we think we know it all, we even think we know what's best for us; Lord, help us to remember, we see now, but You see the future and You always know what's best for us, help us to trust You. Give us the strength and courage to sew seeds of love today. Season our speech with grace and help us to know, just because we can say it, doesn't mean we should say it. Thank You Lord for being the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we lift our hands in total praise to You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our life, health and strength. Most importantly we thank You for drawing us to You and letting us know how much You love us. We thank You for using us to be a witness for how great You are. We thank You for the many test and trials we have experienced in our lives, for You have turned the test in to testimonies. We pray one for another asking that we not be ashamed to share our testimony, for it is our testimony that let's the world know, it was Nobody But Jesus! Help us to praise You more during the test believing bragging rights are on the way. You are the Great Provider and we should brag about it. You are the Great Healer and we should brag about it. You are the Great Comforter and Peacemaker and we should brag about it. You are the Great I Am and we should brag about it. You have always been everything we need, when we needed it, so based on what we've bragged about You in the past, we're praising You right now for future bragging rights. This morning we're praying for Kyria LeFlore and family asking that You continue to be their Comforter, give them the strength to praise You in the midst of their hurt and believe You always do what's best. We thank You Lord for this beautiful victorious day. We thank You for moving mightily in our lives and for giving us a praying, praising spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning O Mighty God! It's another beautiful day that You have made and we're thankful to You for blessing us to still be here. Lord we thank You for Your loving kindness and tender mercy. Lord, for our sin we ask that You will forgive us and give us the courage to forgive ourselves. Help us to know nothing we do will ever catch You by surprise, in fact, You love us so much that You always already have a plan to work all that we do together for our good. Bless each one to know praising You should be first on our list always, for it is in You that we live, move and have our being. Without You we would be nothing, could do nothing, would know nothing and wouldn't have anything to live for. You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we owe You the praise, always. We thank You Lord for always supplying our every need. Today we will concentrate on how blessed we are to have You in our lives. We will not speak negative, nor will we allow others to speak negative to us. We're putting the past behind us and pressing our way forward, recognizing it's not always easy to press forward, but WITH God all things are possible. Today we're looking at all situations and believing all things are possible. We praise You because we are victors and we're going forth with our heads high, our chest stuck out and our steps ordered by the Most High God. We ask that you would remember Apostle Berry and she guides Bishop Bonner through these few days and she prepares for what you have already fixed for her, we are also asking that you remember Bishop Ronald Stovall as he waits to consult with the specialist regarding his condition. We thank You in advance for making all things possible today and for giving us a smile to share with everyone we meet, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, we thank and praise You for opening our eyes to see another day. We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see that You are an awesome God. It's because of You the birds are still singing. It's because of You the wind is still blowing. It's because of You the sun is still shining. It's because of You the rain is still falling. It's because of You the clouds are still occupying their space in the sky. It's because of You the trees and grass are still growing. You are the maker and sustainer of all life and we give You praise this morning for speaking to us and saying, "LIVE!" We're still here because of the words You spoke, help us to know we have You in us and our words are also powerful; Therefore, we speak life into our lives. We cast down every negative thought and we call out victory in all that we do. Bless each one to have a praying, praising spirit, believing all things are possible if we would just believe Who our God is and who we are because of our God. We are more than conquerors! We are blessed in the city and blessed in the fields. We are the head and not the toe. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! We are our Father's children and we win!! This is the day that the Lord has made, we're rejoicing and being glad in it!!!! Thank You Lord for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
